Dave, I miss grandpa do you miss him? He was so simple to understand. Dave, May I sing a song for you?

Interestingly, in the 1952 comic book adaptation of the movie (Motion Picture Comics No. 110, Fawcett), they're not using a Differential Analyzer to check the calculations, but the ENIAC. I wonder who changed it, and why, since it makes no difference to the story. Maybe it was already the ENIAC in the movie's script, but they didn't have any good stock footage of it?
